* One Strum

[Verse 1]
             
When I was six

             
 years old I b

             
roke my leg
             
I was running 

             
from my brothe

              
r and his frie

     
nds
             
And tasted the

             
 sweet perfume

            
 of the mounta

           
in grass I rol

led down
             
I was younger 

           
then, take me 

        
back to when I


[Pre-Chorus]
            
Found my heart

              
 and broke it 


here
              
Made friends a

             
nd lost them t

           
hrough the yea

rs
             
And I've not s

              
een the roarin

            
g fields in so

           
 long, I know 

I've grown

But I can't wa

it to go home


[Chorus]
         
I'm on my way
           
Driving at 90 

             
down those cou

     
ntry lanes
          
Singing to "Ti

ny Dancer"
             
And I miss the

             
 way you make 

        
me feel, and i

t's real
             
We watched the

           
 sunset over t

   
he castle on t

he hill


[Verse 2]
             
Fifteen years 

             
old and smokin

            
g hand-rolled 

             
cigarettes
             
Running from t

             
he law through

              
 the backfield

            
s and getting 

              
drunk with my 


friends
            
Had my first k

              
iss on a Frida

            
y night, I don

             
't reckon that

          
 I did it righ

t
              
But I was youn

           
ger then, take

            
 me back to wh

en


[Pre-Chorus]
             
We found weeke

             
nd jobs, when 

       
we got paid
              
We'd buy cheap

             
 spirits and d

          
rink them stra

ight
             
Me and my frie

              
nds have not t

      
hrown up in so

 long, oh how 

we've grown

But I can't wa

it to go home


[Chorus]
         
I'm on my way
           
Driving at 90 

             
down those cou

     
ntry lanes
          
Singing to "Ti

And I miss the

             
 way you make 

        
me feel, and i

t's real
             
We watched the

           
 sunset over t

   
he castle on t

he hill
       
Over the castl

e on the hill
       
Over the castl

[Bridge]
             
One friend lef

          
t to sell clot

hes
            
One works down

        
 by the coast
             
One had two ki

   
ds but lives a

lone
            
One's brother 


overdosed
             
One's already 

       
on his second 

wife
            
One's just bar

   
ely getting by
             
But these peop

   
le raised me
          
And I can't wa

it to go home


[Chorus]
             
And I'm on my 

          
way, I still r

emember
             
These old coun

    
try lanes
            
When we did no

And I miss the

We watched the

Over the castl

e on the hill
       
Over the castl
